A module for generating SVG output of Pictogram display for consensus motifs. This method of representation was describe by Burge and colleagues: (Burge, C.B.,Tuschl, T., Sharp, P.A. in The RNA world II, 525-560, CSHL press, 1999)

This is a simple module that takes in an array of sequences (assuming equal lengths) and calculates relative base frequencies where the height of each letter reflects the frequency of each nucleotide at a given position. It can also plot the information content at each position scaled by the background frequencies of each nucleotide.

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.
